Promoted to the Premier League with Wolves last summer, the striker broke a foot in pre-season. He slipped down the pecking order after recovering and was then out of the door. And he will never be able to forget that open-goal miss from four yards for Scotland against Norway in 2008.

Best bit of business

CHRIS IWELUMO Led the line well following his move from Wolves and showed a poacher's instinct to snatch the winning goal.

RYAN BERTRANDForest's loan signing from Chelsea is similar in style to Ashley Cole and impressed with his ability to get up and down the left flank.

But Burnley's £500,000 signing is an optimist, and his 45th-minute
header which won this game will allow him to concentrate on the future.

Iwelumo, 32, has no regrets about leaving the Premier League behind,
as he explained: 'I had a chat with Wolves boss Mick McCarthy at the
end of last season and told him that I needed to play more football. I
just want to play, score goals and experience success. The opportunity
came up to talk to Burnley and I didn't really think too long about it.
It was a fantastic opportunity.'

Forest had their share of opportunities on Saturday and striker Rob
Earnshaw, who hit a post, said: 'It's hard to take, to be honest. We'll
play a hell of a lot worse than that and win a lot of games.'
